SHARE Multi Academy Trust currently consists of Shelley College, Thornhill Community Academy, Royds Hall Academy, Whitcliffe Mount Academy, Todmorden High School, Heaton Avenue Primary School, Millbridge Primary School, Luck Lane Primary School, Woodside Green Primary School and Calderdale and Kirklees Teaching School Hub.
Our aims
Our overarching aim is to help more pupils, particularly the disadvantaged, achieve highly. Achievement includes academic success and the development of personal qualities and knowledge to lead happy, healthy and successful lives.
Our values
We believe education is all about people. Our success is measured in how we help our children and young people achieve. We can only achieve this success by employing talented, committed staff and working in partnership with parents. In doing so, we will benefit our communities. We have a distinctive way of interpreting this belief. We summarise it as:
"Valuing People, Supporting Personal Best."
This means we seek for every one of our students and members of staff, to enjoy coming to our schools and for all of us to try our very best in everything we do. We help everybody gain the knowledge, skills and habits that can lead to a happy and successful life, both now and in the future. We believe that helping people feel valued increases the chances of them achieving their personal best, which is the highest standard we can expect anybody to achieve.
